Swim Lessons/ Coaching:
contact Joanna at 215-272-6774
Learn
how to swim! Develop your stroke and form awareness in the water. Become
skilled at techniques which allow you to work with the water, not fight
it. Joanna attends coaching seminars on a regular basis to keep her up
to date. Each private lesson will focus on proper breathing, increasing your comfort in the water, improving your balance in the
water, and developing your technique
-
all common issues, even in elite swimmers. While most coaches promote
over reaching and what they call ‘stream line’ position, Joanna utilizes
techniques which promote proper mechanics utilizing your natural body
movements. She refers to this technique as Silent Swimming - a marriage between yoga
and swimming. This technique creates seemingly effortless movement through the
water while eliminating shoulder and back pain (most often due to
improper biomechanics). The more noise you make while in the
water, the more inefficient you are.
Joanna works with both athletes who are looking to learn how to swim or improve their stroke, kids on swim teams looking to improve their stroke in competition, individuals who experience shoulder and lower back pain when swimming as well as adults and children who have never learned how to swim. Beginners and advanced swimmers are welcome.
Currently Joanna teaches at the Abingdon Club in Jenkintown, PA, and North Penn YMCA. She can accommodate students at other pools if needed. Most sessions are 30 minutes in length. If choosing more than one stroke, longer sessions are available up to an hour (60 minutes). Rates based on length of lesson and facility.
Please contact Joanna if you would like to learn more about becoming a more efficient swimmer and increasing your swim times!!! Triathletes and beginner students welcome. If you are frustrated with the lack of progress from other lessons you have taken, including Total Immersion, then why not give this a try. Use the principles you use in the pool to help with your other activities outside of the pool. Learn to move naturally with the water, not against the water fighting every stroke of the way. Use your energy to propel yourself forward rather than dragging yourself thru the water.
"I
just want to thank you for your lessons and advice on swimming.
My
Iron Man event went extremely well.
My swim time was 1:36:55. There were still a lot of people in the water
when I got out, so my goal of not being the last out of the water was
achieved. But, more than that, I was never more comfortable or
confident during any swim practice or event as I was on that day.
I actually enjoyed swimming for the first time in my life, despite
swimming against the current and being surrounded by jelly fish. I also
used endurolytes for the first time that day, and I did not have any
cramp issues, so I think it is something that I will continue to
use."
